When I try to use Outlook 2010 on WIN 7 machine I get a message: "The file C:\Users|Owner|Documents|Outlook.pst cannot be found". It's nowhere in the computer according to Windows search. Office re-install would not help.



Some history. I installed Outlook long time (few month) ago, but never used it at all. There is a good chance that I accidentally deleted the pst file during computer maintenance. I uninstalled x86 Office version hoping that uninstall would remove all the problems. After that I installed x64 version of the Office. The problem is still there.

Since I have not used Outlook yet, it does not have any useful information. Where can I find the starting Outlook.pst, so I can plant it where Outlook expects it to be?

How can I otherwise get my Outlook going?

Your help is much appreciated in advance.

Hi,

If you have lost the PST file than you never get your outlook data, So you should check again PST file at default location in your system.

Hi gm10,

Does it shows .pst or .ost?
